Produktbeschreibung
A new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield's complete correspondence Organised by recipient, this innovative 4-volume edition allows the reader to explore and share Katherine Mansfield's individual relationships via her letters. Well-known Mansfield scholars Claire Davison and Gerri Kimber have returned to the author's original letters, retranscribing and fully annotating them, incorporating recently discovered biographical material as well as previously unpublished letters. As the four volumes in the Collected Letters reveal, letter writing was an essential part of Mansfield's literary production. From Conrad Aiken to Hugh Jones, this first volume covers correspondents from every period of Mansfield's life. A detailed introduction, together with biographical portraits for each correspondent, enhance the cultural and socio-historical context, while the letters themselves offer a detailed exposé of Mansfield's life: from exile and emigration, intimacy and betrayal, and the traumas of war and disease, to nature and the environment and fashions and food. The volume also reveals the intimacies of some of Mansfield's most prized friendships. Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris. Gerri Kimber is a Visiting Professor in the Department of English at the University of Northampton, and a professional writer and book reviewer.
